100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 24 - Thank you for helping me notice you
Rayner’s PovMy life has returned to how it was before Nath came in. After the meeting with Mac Jayson, Nath asked me to go home with him. I did, but I told him I had something else to do.He didn’t argue with me as he only nodded. When we got to his house, the maids were standing outside waiting, their heads bowed to the floor. He held my hands while I followed him from behind.We got inside and that was when I realized the reason he asked me to go with him was because he wanted us to eat lunch together. I didn’t show how happy I was but trust me, I was very happy.I honestly do not have anything to eat when I get home. Eating lunch at his place was the best thing that could happen to me for the day. I did hurry to finish the lunch and after that, he instructed a maid to pack something up for me for dinner.I rolled my eyes when he gave that instruction and when the maid had left, I confronted him. “Why tell your maid to pack me dinner? Dinner is in like six hours from now.” I asked

Rayner’s Pov“You don’t want to explain to him, then it's fine, I will help you to.” Katherine turned to Daniel, “Your girlfriend here is about to get married to…”“Shut up!!!” We all heard someone yell from behind us.”We turned around to see Director Kim walking toward us. He has a plain face and so far working with him, I know that expressionless face. He was not so far from fury.He got to us and grabbed Katherine by the arm, “You should learn to mind your business, Katherine.” Director Kim said.“Director Kim, you always cover up for Ray, is she your sex toy?” Katherine asked.I saw Daniel look at me in disbelief, his mouth left open and his eyes too. I shut my eyes, tears gathering but I have to fight it so it doesn't fall.”Everything you are saying is trash. You should focus on improving your skills and not fighting Rayner rather, try to beg her to teach you.” Director Kim said.My eyes were still shut, my heart in pain but I could still tell what they were doing. Katherine fo

Rayner’s PovJust for me, Nath booked the whole spa. When we entered, everything in the spa was empty. All the spa staff were standing waiting for us to enter, and when we got to the entrance, they welcomed us.“Welcome, Mr. and Mrs Blackwood.” They greeted us.Nath held my hands and we kept walking inside. We got inside and all the staff entered inside too, all behind us. They were all acting extra smart and I wondered if it was because of this man standing beside me.They deployed to their various duties and Nath finally spoke. “I want you to give my woman the best spa experience ever.” He instructed them.“Yes, sir Blackwood.” They all yelled.I was first offered a drink and another brought their menu which consisted of the list of services they offered. I picked my favorite among the body and facial treatments, but after we were done, Nath instructed me to have a hot tub bath, eyelash tinting, and pedicure and manicure.We had spent more time there than I had imagined. All my time

Nathaniel’s PovI expected such a behavior from Aunt Eli although I didn’t voice it out to Ray. She might have changed her mind if I had told her knowing how stubborn she is. Ray’s mood and even facial expression changed immediately.I didn’t tell her about coming to my house even before the wedding. One thing I observed about Rayner is the fact that she takes her self-respect so seriously. She hates it when she is being looked down on and selfishly avoids whatever will make her feel insulted.I know we haven’t stayed together rather have been together for long but it’s something I could easily tell through her behavior. I too, felt sad when Aunt Eli said that but I can’t argue with her.I knew she was doing all of these just to be sure I wasn’t lying to her. I have always told her I won’t get married because I don’t find people from the opposite gender interesting and attractive but she has always fought against it.When I became an adult, she immediately began to disturb me with mar

Rayner’s PovI got home after leaving Nath’s place to meet Betty, who was waiting for me outside my apartment. The driver had dropped me off outside the building, and while I stepped down, a guy with a food package was waiting for me.He handed it to me with the usual words, “From Mr. Blackwood.”I turned to the driver to be sure the food was coming from Nath because I just left his place and he didn’t tell me he was sending someone. I was a bit scared for my life now after hearing Daniel’s threat and Katherine’s threat too.The driver nodded, “It’s from Mr. Blackwood. He forgot to give it to you before you left.” The driver said and then I collected the package. I was already tired, especially after hearing what Aunt Eli said.“Why was she being very annoying?” I muttered while walking to my apartment.The driver was still there, perhaps he got an order from Nath not to leave until I entered inside the building. When I saw Betty standing beside my door, I knew I was going to have a l

Nathaniel’s PovI was having my bath when I heard my phone ring from inside my room. I didn’t have any meetings as I had wanted to rest after having a busy day so I wondered who could be calling.Curiosity got the better part of me and so I had to hurry up with washing up. The caller didn’t stop calling even when he or she didn’t get a response and that again made me hurry up. I came out of the washroom with a towel in my hand and walked over to where I left my phone on the bed.I checked the caller to my surprise, it was Ray who was calling. I kind of smiled but if you ask me, I do not know why I smiled but I did. I answered the call expecting her to speak in her usual way and she didn’t disappoint me, she has never actually.She told me about visiting her Mom which I didn’t argue about because I had thought about asking her but it skipped my mind even when we were together the whole day. I had asked her what her Mom loved but she said we were going to talk about it later.What made

Rayner’s PovEverything was irritating to me and I just wanted to disappear but I have Nath here with me so I can’t. I was just so sad knowing I lied to Mom and Nath too. Yeah, I have done some stuff to Mom that she didn’t like but so far, this is just the biggest.The fact that Nath was lying with so much confidence to Mom got to me, but what could I do? Nothing. He was doing me a favor, just like I was doing him a favor. At some point, I was finding it very difficult to breathe because the lies were choking me.A part of me was glad that although Mom suspected something, she didn’t drag it much cause Nath’s lies were very convincing. I continued to pretend everything was okay till we left Mom’s place. Nath drove me to my place and when I was about to step down, he asked me if he should go while he sent someone to come pick me up or I would rather pick a few things and follow him home. I picked the latter cause I just didn’t want to face his Aunt alone.He waited for me outside whil

Rayner’s Pov“Good morning.” I greeted Nath as soon as I came out of my room.He had called me on the phone earlier to get dressed and after giving me a few hours, he called me again to come outside as he had someone to introduce to me. As an obedient contract marriage partner, I came out.“Done dressing up?” Nath asked me.“Yes,” I replied.Nath kept looking at me like he was lost in his thoughts. When he didn’t say anything after a few seconds, I waved at him and he blinked.“I am so sorry. I got carried away thinking about something,” he said.“It's fine, so, what do you intend to show me?”“Your driver, he is outside, can we go?” he stretched his hand toward me with his palm open and I took it.Was he acting more gentle than before or was I just overthinking? We got outside and a face I had never seen before was standing beside the BMW x7 that was usually used to pick me up.“This is your driver, Joel, Wherever you want to go, he will be the one to take you. Please Ray, always mak

Rayner’s PovWe got to the venue which is Crystal Hall and to my surprise, the place was already packed with a lot of people. We came down from the car and Nath carried my bag and also held my hands. I remembered I hadn’t called Mac Jayson.“Nath, I haven’t called Mac Jayson, did you send him the venue details?” I asked Nath while we walked inside. There were a lot of reporters around all taking pictures of us. I didn’t panic because of course, I was expecting it.“Yes, I did,” Nath replied.“Okay, thank you for that.” I was about to ask when Mom would arrive because Nath sent a car to go pick her up when my phone rang. Nath stopped walking, raised the bag, opened it pulled out my phone from inside, and then handed the phone over to me.I checked the caller and it was Betty, she had told me earlier that she would be coming with Jeff and I had forgotten about it. I answered the call immediately.“Hey Betty,” I said.“Ray, where are you guys?”“At Crystal Hall already, you should be her
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 39 - Beautiful bride
Rayner’s PovAfter getting me angry the previous day, we didn’t speak to each other till we left Crystal Hall where the engagement would be taking place. I was just so pissed that I had wished countless times to remove his head from his body.He took me to a restaurant so we could have our lunch but I refused to take anything and also we left. We got home and met Aunt Eli in the living room. I wasn’t interested in holding any conversation with her or even faking any of my act so I only greeted her and walked into my room.I had a cold shower cause I was feeling hot and when I entered my room, I could hear Aunt Eli scolding Nath for annoying me. She was going to notice because the look on my face did not show I was happy.I don’t know what Nath may have said to her but her words tell me that she doesn’t know what happened at all. Nath and I were keeping her and Mom and everyone in the dark. I had lost my appetite for food so when I finished taking my bath, I jumped on the bed.I put on
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 38 - Someone who is as poor as you
Rayner’s PovLast night, despite Nath had given me reasons that whatever I felt was just something anyone would feel, my feelings still didn’t change. After the conversation, I returned to my room and lay down.Everything was happening so fast and since Nath came into my life, I can’t give an account of how my life is going besides the contract I signed with Mr. Nelson. One thing I will be truthful about is the fact that I have met a lot of big men in Diavolo and who would have thought?And the most surprising of it all was that the most influential man of Diavolo, Mac Jayson asked me to be his daughter. I know a lot of ladies out there would be super happy when they are asked such a question but there I was, feeling absurd, or rather, I didn’t know how I felt.While in my thought and imagination, I dosed off only to open my eyes again in the morning. I checked the time and I was about thirty minutes late for work. I jumped up and hurriedly got into the bathroom to take my bath.I pic
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 37 - Strange feelings
Nathaniel PovI was hurt by her words and even though I tried to hide it, my emotions failed me. I lay on the bed, exhausted by the day's activity and Ray’s harsh words.Aunt Eli wasn't helping matters in any way because she had told Ray to spend the night in my room. After a few minutes, I observed Ray was not comfortable and then I had to ask her.She told me the challenge she was facing at that moment and to me, it wasn't something that she should be stressed about.I told her a few business tips and also what to send to Mr. Nelson and her next move came as a big surprise to me.She hugged me and muttered a thank you. For the first time, I got very close to her and even sniffed in her perfume. She smells like heaven.I could tell she was very grateful and that's because she hugged me. When she sent the reply to Mr. Nelson and he gave her a response, I explained a few more tips to her.We spoke about business for a long time before she felt sleepy and couldn't hide it. We argued a l
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 36 - Be my daughter, please.
All through the day at the office, I kept getting congratulations and that gladdened my heart. I have not been regular to work for some days and then I returned with a big contract. It was things like these I prayed for.Before the end of the day working hours, I was informed by a security personnel that Joel was waiting for me. Director Kim allowed me to go as he didn’t want to keep Joel waiting but asked me to tell Joel the actual closing time or I should call him to come.It was a great idea and I was going to tell him that.“Why did you come this early? I still have about forty-five minutes before I can leave work.” I asked him after getting into the car.“I am sorry Ma’am, but it’s an instruction from Mr. Blackwood just to be sure you are safe.” He explained.“It’s fine but from tomorrow, you should arrive here when it’s about ten minutes to, okay?” “Yes Ma’am,” he replied.“Great, take me to my place, need to get the other stuff,” I said.Joel turned the car toward my house, an
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 35 - Congratulations Rayner
Rayner’s Pov“Wow, it's good to see you back to work again,” Carista exclaimed as she ran toward me to hug me.“I have missed everyone so so much,” I said patting her back.“You are looking very beautiful,” He bit her finger and then continued, “Perhaps, I would take a week off, I am looking like a shadow of myself right now.” She said.“You can say whatever you want to say, but I will be honest with you. You still look amazing. Also, I didn’t intentionally leave work. I had some engagement, and then I brought good news, which would be made known later.” I explained to her.“Alright then, I can’t wait to know what it is,” Carista said with a hopeful smile on her face.“Director Kim?” I asked her.“He is in his office. Since you left, he has always been angry at everyone and he has a lot of work to do with no one to share it with.” Carista crossed her hands over her chest and gently shaking her head, she said, “The man is going through a lot right now.” She turned to me, “But thank goo
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 34 - Thank you Nath
Rayner’s PovI was matching out of Nath’s room with so much energy, my heart jumping with so much joy inside of me while his heart was broken, I don’t know though. I opened the door and as soon as dropped my first step outside Nath’s room, I saw Aunt Eli looking at me.I jumped up and almost screamed but I managed to control myself.“Aunt Eli, you scared me,” I said holding my chest. I heard Nath rushing to the door.Aunt Eli smiled, “I am sorry, Ray. I didn’t mean to.” She apologized, but I still haven’t gotten myself back.“Aunt is everything okay?” Nath asked her from behind me.Aunt Eli nodded, “Yes, everything is okay. I was just so surprised to be told by the maid that Ray was inside your room like it’s the first time since she came here.” Aunt Eli said.I moved my hand to my back hiding the agreement file in my hand, she must not see it. “Umh, yes, I went in to ask him about something.” I came up with an excuse.“That’s great. Since the both of you are now engaged and live in t
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 33 - The agreement
Rayner’s PovGetting a contract from Nath’s business partner was not something I had ever imagined although Betty had told me I could get a lot of such opportunities but I still didn’t think about it.Mr. Nelson kept saying a big contract but I still couldn’t get a glimpse of the big he was referring to. Would he get more gadgets than Nath from us? Over the years, Nath’s request has been the highest which is one of the reasons Director Kim would do anything to get it.And besides being the highest, it adds to Cee Enterprises' name.“I will send you the design of the computer I have and then will we continue from there. Good luck.” Mr. Nelson said before he left.The other men with him have assured me that they were going to get to me if they needed any gadget. They left before us and after a while, Nath asked if they would leave. The truth is, I have been thinking about work and the fact that I haven’t gotten any client in a while was killing me.But I think right now I will say, you
100 Days In A Contract Marriage With Nathaniel Blackwood Chapter 32 - A big contract
Nathaniel’s PovI had called Ray earlier to get ready so she could go see Mac Jayson and spend some time with him. I gave her a few hours and I called her again and she said she had dressed already so I left my room to meet her.When Ray opened the door and came out of her room, she looked very beautiful and I must say that I got lost staring at her. I knew she was beautiful before then but the beauty I was seeing while I stood in front of her was beyond what I had seen before.I kept looking at her, fantasizing and complimenting her in my head when I saw her wave her hands in my face. I quickly responded to what she said and after that, I took her outside to introduce her driver to her.She left and I couldn’t clear her beautiful face off my head. I went to the company where Davis informed me about the interview I was supposed to have at a media house but I told them to come to Blue Nath and they were already waiting for me to arrive.I got there and the arrangement began immediately
